Puppet users - Nov 2010 - more than one instance of a service

Still on my sensor management project ;)

I have a parameterised define  (sensor) within a class monitor:

class monitor {

   import "masters/*.pp"   # class for each sensor master

   define sensor( $master, .....)

#   and I want to include a class whose name is give by $master.

    include $master   #(with or without quotes) gives syntax errors.

# alternatively just importing the specific manifest (rather than all
in the import above):

    import "master/$master.pp"  # also gives syntax error.


}

What I a trying to do is define some variables that will be used in
erb templates which are specific to each master sensor.  So I want to
have a class for each master sensor which gets included in the sensor
definition.

Again I want these to be stand alone entities that can be in a file of
their own and be automatically generated.

Am I going about this the wrong way (again ;) ?

I have worked my way around this one:

empirical evidence suggest that one can use variable in include but
not import.  This makes some sort of sense.

So I now

import "master/*.pp"
include $master

This leads to another problem but I''ll post it to a thread of its
own...
